People say (and it is true) that you read more than write, so your careful indenting is for that case. I don't find python easier to read than c; I find the verboseness quite annoying actually. Plus what you said in usability for the coder. It is nice as teaching language but beyond that I have no clue why people use it; if you read the modern AI code in it, it's not very readable at all as that is not about python but rather numpy and torch etc which could've been done in another language which might have been nicer for this purpose. Now (check for instance gpt2 or so) it's verbose typing/reading for stuff that's not readable for someone who doesn't understand the theory anyway.
